Win­nipeg artist Koop hon­oured with re­search fund

THE Cana­dian Art Foun­da­tion has launched a new fund in hon­our of Win­nipeg artist Wanda Koop. The Wanda Koop Re­search Fund will of­fer support to artists who would like to re­search or are com­plet­ing re­search, says a Thurs­day re­lease. Koop’s four-decade ca­reer in­cludes more than 50 exhibitions across Canada and in­ter­na­tion­ally. In 1984, Koop and her art­work made the cover of the premier is­sue of Cana­dian Art mag­a­zine. The fund was of­fi­cially launched Thurs­day night at Cana­dian Art’s an­nual fundraiser in Toronto.
